Right now, we have only one authenticated block cipher mode of operation (GCM). Redundancy in security primitives is highly important for a few reasons.

OCB is on par with GCM in security level, and is licensed freely for use in open source projects.

A while ago I implemented OCB in dart, maybe this could be a starting point?

Edit: Oh and btw I think that the patent on OCB was dropped, so it's also free for non-open-source projects: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cfrg/qLTveWOdTJcLn4HP3ev-vrj05Vg/
